RESUMO
Sitophilus oryzae (L.), S. granarius (L.), Tribolium castaneum (Hbst.), Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.), Rhyzopertha dominica (F.), Tenebroides mauritanicus (L.), and Cryptolestes pusillus (Schon.) transmitted Salmonella montevideo from wheat contaminated with 106 organisms/g to clean wheat. The insects were fed on the contaminated grain for 21 days and were then transferred to clean grain and allowed to feed for 21 days. They were subsequently transferred to two more samples of clean wheat. All species carried S. montevideo into the initial sample of clean wheat but not into a second or third sample. Progeny of the original insects that developed in the contaminated wheat exhibited less ability than the original adults to contaminate clean wheat. Data indicated that few S. montevideo could be carried by the stored-product insects in large masses of grain.
